everybody's talking about big bird this week. a controversy still raging more than a week after the presidential debate. mitt romney is about to cut funding for pbs programs and now the president is running a campaign that mocks that. >> absolutely. >> what are your listeners saying about this big bird mess? >> you know, the people behind big bird and sesame street said, i did not approve this ad. the democrats, yes, are running this ad. many african-americans say, and supporters of president obama, say, look, we don't want any reminders of that debate last week, because the president didn't do so well. even bringing up big bird, not such a good idea. but for our listeners, they're huge supporters of public broadcasting. howard university television is a public broadcasting station and runs programming that is geared towards minorities and those folks who would fall in that 47% category. and so they say plucking big bird's feathers, not sitting well with them. and in fact, pbs said cutting federal funding is not really a big budg
